We've carefully gone through all of our photographs up through April 14th and we already have 150 different individuals!!! (not bad considering there are only an estimated 400 individuals in the entire species)

Over the next few weeks, we'll be wrapping up the remaining loose ends from our survey flights in late April and early May, so stay tuned for the final count...
